Why We Love The Gov

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

Cross-posted at BFM I came across an interesting LSJ article this morning, which underscored some of the points we've been making at BFM. First I'm going to say how irritated I am that it's an LSJ article ... I'm still mad at them.  So, I'm going to link the article because I'm ...

4 More Years! 4 More Years!

Another Republican For Granholm

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Mud Fight Smackdown

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

As promised, the ‘mud fight’ smackdown: 1. "The governor made another false accusation during Monday's debate" -- I am guessing this refers to what Mr. Beckmann calls "the phony claims that Alticor's China investment led to Michigan job losses." The Governor never said that the China investment led to Michigan ...

Mud Fight Not Quite Right

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Frank Beckmann’s ‘mud fight’ column has left me "disappointed." I’m not disappointed by his accusations toward the Governor, which I will easily smack down soon enough. I am disappointed that he framed the gubernatorial debate as playground scuffle between an unruly girl and a courteous boy. It is unfortunate that ...
